Operation Zarb-e-Azb

Pakistan Army began a long-awaited push to clear insurgent bases from North Waziristan last June after a bloody Taliban attack on Pakistan’s aviation hub Karachi airport, finally sank faltering peace talks with the militants.

Air strikes, artillery, mortars and ground troops have all been used in the military offensive to take back the territory.

The army has intensified the offensive against the terrorists since the Taliban’s massacre of 150 people, 134 of them children, in Army Public School in the northwestern city of Peshawar in December.
